SLO County Clerk Recorder Elaina Cano

By KAREN VELIE

The San Luis Obispo County election’s office is second in the state on Tuesday morning in uncounted ballots with 3,965 still to count, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. There are currently 27,101 uncounted ballots in the state.

With 1,416,752 processed ballots, Orange County leads with 11,565 uncounted ballots. SLO County processed 150,106 ballots in the November election.

Santa Barbara County processed 187,836. Its election office has 18 uncounted ballots.

At the end of the 2022 ballot count, SLO County was the second slowest in the state.

California county elections officials have 30 days to count every valid ballot and conduct a required post-election audit. State law requires elections officials to report final official results for presidential electors to the Secretary of State by Dec. 3, and all other contests by Dec. 6.

What an embarrassment! Not only did our County Clerk gets the award for the second slowest vote count in the State and with California getting the top negative award for the slowest count in the entire nation, neither of them can be proud of being dead last in counting the votes of our citizens. Shame, shame, shame…

Still figuring out which races can be rigged. Why can’t we just count all the ballots in an open process?

I try to be a defender of those who work for us; however this woman needs to find a job that she can handle. Her performance is miserable. Since she cannot handle the job, at the very least she should hire a Chief Deputy with election experience who can change the sorry experience we currently have.
